Hamas accepting ceasefire deal a ruse according to Israeli govt.

This is one of the main problems IMO. Israel accepted the 1948 Partition as a first step to grabbing more land - they never intended to stick with the land they were given, and the Arabs who were already there inhabiting the land knew that Israelis would try to expand their territory, hence their strong objections to the suggestion of the creation of a state of Israel.
I suspect Hamas are the same as the Zionists and will accept a deal only on the basis that they want to change the reality on the ground later - bit like the British government did with the Brexit deal and the Good Friday Agreement . We have been repeatedly shown that plenty of governments and militants can't be trusted to stick to any deals they make.
On the basis that terrorist organisations are just governments-in-waiting (Irgun was the Zionist terrorist/ militant organisation fighting the British in Palestine and its commander-in-chief, Menachem Begin, went on to become Prime Minister of Israel) , not sure there is anything to choose between Hamas and the Israeli government.
Given the evidence of the Israeli government's propensity to murder / starve/ terrorise Arab civilians of which about 50% are children, there does not seem any rational reason to have a preference for and stand 'shoulder to shoulder' with this corrupt, nationalistic Zionist government focused on preserving the Jewishness of its state, enforcing its apartheid policies and continuing its illegal occupation of Palestinian territories. Anyone who prefers Israeli terrorism over Palestinian terrorism is displaying some pretty substantial and indefensible prejudices and bias.
